3 days post op and I can't even keep water down [emoji17]

[LilReDiva 22]

I am 3 days post op and I have no issues with the gas or surgery pain. I still feel ok but I am having a hard time keeping anything down including Water. I was release from the hospital yesterday and passed my leak test so I am not understanding why I keep throwing up my liquids!

Try something else until you tolerate it better. I am 5 days out - only got home from hospital yesterday because I was having so much nausea and couldn't keep anything down. I had my SO bring me grape Powerade Zero and that helped. I'm also on anti-nausea meds and Prilosec for stomach acid. I'm not anywhere near my fluid goals but am trying. Plain Water is not my friend - I've been adding sugar free powders to it like crystal light or propel, MiO. Hang in there. Hot tea worked best for me this morning and sf popsicles tonight.

I had my surgery Monday, and I ended up staying in the hospital until Thursday. I threw up non stop, they tried several different medications, and even placed a patch behind my ear. It was the worst thing ever. Water, SF popsicles all made me sick and I threw that up, I started walking, the gas pains started to go away by midnight of Tuesday, the vomiting stoped and I started to eat the popsicles and eventually started drinking more and more. It wasn't the best 4 days there, but it does get better.

Sf popsicles are the way to go to get Fluid in early on for me! Glad to help and glad you are doing better!

The surgeon put me on anti nausea drugs for 2 weeks. Did you get them

I did to take as needed but I haven't had an issue with nausea. I would literally take a sip or two and think every thing was fine just to spit ever ounce make up a few minutes later. It just wouldn't stay down. Only popsicles, but at least something would.
